No. Assembly sucks. Guardian, pit, construct are boss. Orbital, isolation, and citadel are meh.


Assembly is better than Guardian, Isolation, and Orbital by miles.

I'd argue that Guardian is probably one of the worst Halo maps ever.

1. Reach blast radius is fine. They just explode too fast, don't bounce enough, and the noise they makes is distracting

2. Rockets are a power weapon. Making them "take so much skill to the point where they're fireworks" is stupid. It's a Rocket Launcher. You aim. You fire. You get kills. It was that way in Halo CE and Halo 2.

4. Too many fusion coils = lag and random explosions

5. but they're still stupid

6. AR starts impair players off of spawn and inhibit map movement

Lol Halo 3 kids denying any of your points. When you scrape the best settings out of both games, Reach destroys Halo 3. When playing the best settings in both games (MLG) the problems can be summarized as such:

Halo 3- maps, horrible aim, inconsistent starting weapon (and that's a big one)

Reach- maps, slippery movement

Both have problems, but Halo 3's are more severe.

I agree with you with alot of your points. assembly is fun, but guardian is one of the best maps ever made

Remembering 20 years of the best developing around.
Good luck, guys you always have my support.

It's all a matter of opinion, OP. Your opinion doesn't reflect anybody's except your own. I personally like CE the best and ODST is a close second. Honestly, Reach comes somewhere in last.

H3>>>>


I'm trying to tell myself this, but it seems like the more I play H3 the more I hate it.

It's not that it's hard or anything (though I suck regardless). I'm just really annoyed with its inconsistent behavior.


I think your having bad luck. I have played some bad host games, but for the most part the connection is fine for me.

I find reach to be more inconsistent that H3. In H3 when I lost a battle it felt like I deserved it usually. In reach I feel like I get screwed by bloom


That's how I feel too. The fewer random elements you have in a game, the more skill it takes (generally). The H2 BR was better because every shot went in the exact same place. Nothing was random about it. Bloom, on the other hand.....it's like intentionally trying to reduce how much skill it takes to use a weapon.

On MLG settings its perfectly fine. On normal..... its horribly unbalanced.

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

Back from playing Halo 3 and like the OP i find it ti be fristrating as well

People constantly jumping around in circles and assasinating you

Grenade spam and bleedthrough doesnt go well together

AR melee rushing

Maps which are a joke

Honestly I think Halo Reach is far more fun to play than this

I wish i was good at Halo 3 again. Last year I was pretty good at it, I won all my Lone Wolves matches, got the most kills in Team Slayer and avergaes around 20 kills in SWAT. Then SWAT died and I stopped playing, and now I cant play it anymore,

Than you're dumb. Every good player knows Reach MLG destroys Halo 3 MLG. You can't even crossmap in Halo 3.

You can make anything sound better than anything else when you choose what the list has.

Halo 3 is still better than Reach.

Yeah I know what you're checking for.

Sadly I got my 50 after they stopped doing the stats for Halo 3 here.


Posted by: A 3 Legged Goat
Or at least parts of it:

1. You don't go flying when a grenade or rocket explodes underneath you in Reach

2. Rockets actually kill you when they're fired in your direction

3. The H3 BR is an inconsistent piece of crap. The DMR reintroduced crouching to strafing, whereas with the BR you really can't crouch because people sweep their reticle, meaning even if you dodge one when you duck, a successive shot can still hit you. Bloom is still dumb though.

4. Why are there fusion coils all over the place on Halo 3 maps?

5. Power Drain. Bubble Shield. lawl

6. AR starts, and God knows why people don't veto them. AR rush is retarded

7. H3's ridiculous needler, awful shotgun, and terrible magnum

8. And finally, at least Reach's netcode is better

There are clearly some things H3 does better than Reach, like vehicle combat, Beam Rifle, powerups on maps, pick up abilities, ranking system, no fall damage or health, better matchups, and over all better maps.

However, when all the BS in Reach is eliminated (or looked at from a different perspective), I can at least appreciate what it improved upon from Halo 3. Playing Halo 3 for the last few days has been nothing short of frustrating for the things I listed above. I mean seriously--it's a damn Rocket Launcher and it didn't kill you?!

But Reach is still lame, so...

Long Live Halo 2.


1. Bad topic to start on! You realise that Reach has the -blam!-est grenades of all time, right? In Halo 3 you could skillfully dodge grenades and on the other hand, place them properly. Your point was dumb.

2. Oh no, power weapons actually take skill to use? That's surely the sign of a worse game. Get some skill.

3. It's really not that bad. It's far superior to the DMR with bloom. Don't even bother mentioning MLG, because that's only one playlist, it doesn't represent the DMR.

4. Better question: Why do all the maps on Halo Reach suck?

5. Sprint. Jet pack. lawl

6. Last time I checked, Reach has about as many AR starts as Halo 3, and it's equally frustrating.

7. Irrelevant weapons really. Halo 3 had a better sniper and rocket launcher.

8. Only point you're right about.

1/8 well done. Try and come up with something better next time.

Funny I went back to Halo 3 and barely ever got frustrated with it. Reach on the other hand........

So you prefer Halo 3 MLG to zero bloom no sprint settings in Reach? And I'm the moron.
